Another Book - "The Darkest Hour" - Day 18 #100HappyDays
A good novel to read about the horrors during the Nazi days. It is mostly based on 3 brave girls and an organization Covet Operations trying to fight the Nazi's. The protagonist, Lucie turning from an innocent small girl to a brave fighter and killer is definitely quite a read for a reader. Sabine, her agent friend says killing gets easier with every mission, so does the horror in the book for a reader. It feels outrageous that such an incident could even take place in history is unimaginable. Operation Zeitfall, thankfully fictional as written in Author's note was an horrific adventure. It is quite a read for someone who has never read about Nazi times. From the sufferings of the common man to the magnitude of Swastika, it perfectly portrays the atmosphere of Europe during WWII.
The novel might feel dry at times when you wouldn't mind keeping the book and taking a break but also gripping at times when Lucie, Tilly and Sabine are captured in the laboratory. The letters from Theo to her sister Lucie at different points in novel felt more like a distraction and missed the empathy it was desired from readers. A good read and I think a lot of credit goes to writer, "Caroline Tung Richmond". It takes a strong heart to write a realistically frightening novel based on history. A good read but may not be a must read. It is an easy read for a lazy weekend.
